Ousted Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe has refused to officially step down, two days after the country’s army seized power.

Images surfaced of 93-year old Mugabe and General Constantino Chiwenga at the state office in Harare, as both parties negotiated a deal.

According to reports, Mugabe is refusing to step down, clinging to the position he has held for the past 37 years. He reportedly believes the coup that took down his government was illegal, rebuffing the attempts of a close friend and Catholic priest, to mediate.

Reports also say Mugabe wants to finish his current presidential term, which ends in 2018, before leaving office.
